[@whatisahandle221]

My ex found a decent mediator. We are mostly amicable and hashed out most things ourselves, and the mediator was able to help get us over a few important disagreements (by talking to us separately in different rooms, so we would stop rolling our eyes at each other 😬 and focus with her on what was really critical to our needs.) It saved a bundle: $3000 total (split between us.). However, her legal aid was terrible-typos, misunderstandings, mixing up clients’ paperwork, and the expectation to have it all done in a single session made completing the process longer and much more painful than necessary. Also, the legalese is terrible and threatening in itself. And, I had lookup multiple state and nonprofit websites for help and guidance to correctly catch a couple of things (missing car VIN #s for title transfers and verbiage for out of state school registration permission). Also, the mediator nearly freaked out at our amicable way to split the sale of the house, and we had to tweak it to calm her done (imagine someone telling you that (10-2)/2 = 4 is very different, legally, than 10/2 - 2/2 = 4 🤷). Ie Mediation can be great-IF you trust your spouse and both can work together ahead of time to has out most money, timeline, maybe some custody expectations, and possessions. But, be wary of poor online reviews hinting at some imperfect lawyer or staff issues, know you’ll still need to be a bit savvy yourself-or have someone else cheaper or free to help you review the document before finalizing, … and, you probably should take measures to consult a lawyer, tax person, and/or online help-especulially if you suspect you can’t fully trust your spouse (or yourself) to not make some rash, emotional financial or other big decisions prior to separation, mediation, or divorce. Oh, and get counseling for yourself and the kids.

Even my extremely uncomplicated (no pets, no kids, no shared property), completed uncontested, totally amicable divorce cost $1800 in notary fees and a year of calls to the courthouse until it was finally approved. And literally all we needed was for a judge to rubber-stamp a document saying, "Yep, I agree you're divorced and have already handled all the financial stuff already!" I became hugely sympathetic to the people who are "separated but not divorced" because DAMN that shit gets expensive!

Took my husband and his ex so long to divorce, and they were like you and your ex-- completely amicable and agreed on everything beforehand. If you ask me, all that paperwork should be done before you get married (basically a pre-nup) and a divorce should be as easy as getting a marriage license is now.

Still $1600 too much. $100 each for the clerk to check the forms are filled out correctly, and the judge to stamp them.

[@juliegolick]

@@the_once-and-future_king. I’m in Quebec, not America. We needed to have a notarized document prepared, essentially saying “yeah, we agree that we’ve split our assets” but in legalese. That’s where most of the money went - to the notary. In theory we could have done in ourselves, but after bashing my head against the instructions for two weeks, I realized I needed a professional. The divorce filing fees were only about a hundred dollars, plus another 40 to get a formal copy of our marriage certificate, which we realized we didn’t have. A ridiculous waste of money to do the notarized document, if you ask me, but needs must.

It explained alot, and It was very subtle and took about... 8 years to really become a problem. Hilarious. But when it was happening, and I was trying to resolve the issues and hitting a brick wall because of that deep rooted attitude, I was like... this is what people in divorces keep describing to me.

Also, there are other feminist organizations that work hard to help these women. The whole thing is awful.

That makes me so mad. The car can't decide where it wants to live. The child can. As soon as the child can speak ask them. Fighting for shared custody when the child doesn't even want to see one parent makes no sense, just as the other way around. We treat children as if they don't have their own opinion, meanwhile every child I met knew damn well which was their favorite parent or if they loved both the same. Of course this shouldn't be the end of the discussion, but the child's wishes should at least be considered.

Some people rush in to commit way too fast, and commit way too little.

[@joshk.6246]

I know there are legit one-sided reasons and legit mutual reasons for divorce. But I honestly think people expect life to be late constantly perfect and both sides in a marriage or any relationship have to just learn give and take and to work through tough times and to grow. I think people expect everyone to conform to themselves more than meeting in a mutual middle ground. Like I said I get it there or some relationships that definitely shouldn't be or somebody needs to get out before they get hurt kind of thing. That makes sense like got to have an avenue for that. My grandparents have been married this year for 66 years and I know that they didn't always get along but I'm glad they didn't just say 'well it was tough let's just chuck it all'. Bill Burr did make a great comment though in his Red Rock special about how If you look at men that are in relationships with women and other women who are in relationships with women, there is a kind of worn down/exhausted look they have, well guys that are in relationship with guys are the happiest folks around it seems.

My ex-husband is on his third marriage to a literal crazy cat lady. One of my uncles got married five times!

[@Mavuika_Gyaru]

Your uncle is an old head. They'll marry any woman that gives attention 😅 heck, old women do the same thing

[@john6941]

Then neither should have married.

[@thetaekwondoe3887]

My family is notorious for this. My dad is on his third marriage. His older brother just ended his fourth marriage. His sister was married twice (though, in all fairness, her first marriage ended because the guy died, not due to divorce), and another brother is on his 2nd or 3rd wife. I don't know. Divorced three years ago myself. Like the freedom, but am lonely and don't have anyone I can REALLY talk to, and don't believe in "shacking up" so.... Not sure where to go from here.

[@MorningRose370]

One woman I used to be acquaintances with was on her third marriage to the same man.

[@ValdestotsVoice]

The snarkiness of Roger is forever at Legendary Status

[@Boogiebear-1965]

I'm all for Shacking Up, especially if one has already been married and divorced and has kids. Second and subsequent marriages can screw your kids out of their inheritance, because if you die before your 2nd spouse does, that spouse gets it all, leaving your kids with nothing unless you've provided for them through trusts and such with the help of an attorney. However, that rebound spouse will still get all the family heirlooms, including the gun collection your great-grandfather started that you planned to leave to your son and the jewelry or art collection ypu planned to leave to your daughter. And if the step-parent decides to be an even BIGGER asshole, just out of spite (and they quite often do), your kids won't even get the family photographs you've taken and collected over the years. There may even be a beloved, old, family pet that simply "vanishes" without a trace or a decent explanation. I truly and firmly believe that remarrying is one of the shittiest things you can do to your children. MUST you REALLY have that piece of paper that ties you to a step-parent with hundreds of feet of red tape? Remember folks ~ Blood is thicker than water, and you never TRULY know someone. Didn't you ALREADY learn that with your ex?! Don't gamble on family treasures or your children's inheritance just for a sheet of paper that will likely be FAR more trouble than it's worth, and far more costly to have revoked than you can imagine. The "NEW" WILL wear off, just like it did the first time. When that time comes, if you avoided signing that contract, your arm will get sore from patting yourself on the back.

[@yumikumi2]

You don't need to be married for your children to be screwed out of inheritances, that's something that wills are for.

the price tag is a real thing, sometimes judges look at a divorce case that goes on for years, and then the money in the bank acct goes from 105k at the start... to half of 5.67$

As a man who had to divorce his wife, this hits close to home. Took me 3 years to pay off that 16K in debt. Once I did, I threw a party. I really don't believe in marriage. Better to just live together and leave when you're done.

[@Grayald]

How much of the debt did she pay?

[@barbiquearea]

Did you guys have kids? Because a lot of my friends have gotten married due to kids, and stay married because they don't want to make things hard for them.

Or just find someone whom you can trust and who wants to also avoid a potential disaster if, heaven forbid, you divorce; you both get a prenup and only stand to lose $200 + moving fees. 🙃

1. Social Security benefits 2. Tax breaks 3. Cheaper car insurance 4. Cheaper health insurance 5. Keep more of your home’s sale price 6. Retirement perks 7. You can “gift split” and save on taxes later in life Cons 1. Filing jointly could launch you into a higher tax bracket 2. Filing jointly could raise your student loan payments 3. You could pay more for car insurance 4. Your spouse’s credit could negatively impact your loan terms Still largely beneficial from a money standpoint

Don't get married folks. Just keep being in the relationship marriage is just getting a piece of paper that says what you already have is legally enforceable

[@barbiquearea]

That is until your parents keep nagging you guys to tie the knot, or you have kids and they don't want the stigma of being bastards on them. Happened to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. For about a decade into their relationship, they had kids together including several adopted ones. It was their kids who finally convinced them to get hitched. And about two years into their marriage, their relationship had deteriorated and their messy divorce is still ongoing.
